• app is a dir with a tiny stub flask app for hosting dead people

Converting the deaths to sqlite3

1. Expect the current directory to grow to ~22GB.
2. Put all the zipped death files into the data dir.
   1. sqlite3 deaths.db < 1_setup_deaths_db.sql
3. Convert the data (takes a while)
   1. ./zips2sql.sh > deaths.sql
   2. OR, if you like PV; ./zips2sql.sh |pv -s 9g > deaths.sql
4. Actually import the deaths
   1. sqlite3 deaths.db < deaths.sql
5. Run all the indexes/virtual table stuff
   1. sqlite3 < 2_index_deaths.sql
